                   CAPE COD

                BY RICHIE LUCAS

 

Do you ever get that feeling when you love a place so much you can’t leave it? Well I get that feeling when I’m at Cape Cod.

I get that feeling because of the ocean, the biking paths, and my cousins who come over. I get that feeling because of the ocean, the biking paths, and my cousins who visit. I GET THAT FEELING AT THE OCEAN BECAUSE I GO ON MY BOOGIE BOARD AND GO SWIMMING OUT TO THE BUOY. Another way the ocean is great is putting on my snorkel and my goggle to look for anything that looks interesting. My last way the ocean is great is the fishing because you can go on the shore line and almost catch anything in the water.

 Another reason the cape is the best is because of the biking paths. The biking paths are great because you can almost go to any place around town. You can ride your bikes to the beach, to the church in the center of town, to see the scenic view, and much more.

        My last reason that the cape is the best is my cousins who visit. I like my cousins coming over because we can go to the beach and go swimming and get shave ice at the stand at the beach. You can also play man hunt at night around two houses and sometimes the parents play with us.

 If you ever get the chance to go to Cape Cod go.

         RECESS SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY

 

                            By Marisa Cirrone

 

        Almost everyday my class is stuck in line because we were talking in class and I wonder why does recess get taken away so easily? Don’t teachers realize exercise is critical for kids? Recess time is a time to run around and if we don’t get enough time it affects our performance in class. Besides that we are also losing our friendships. Sometimes recess is the only chance we get to talk to some friends.

        Recess should never be taken away because kids need exercise. Michelle Obama our first lady says “kids are should have 60 minutes of exercise each day. Also recess is a time for kids to practice sports. Someone might have a big game coming up and they want to practice at school, but if we lose recess that person won’t get to do that.

        Another reason recess should never be taken away is it affects our performance. Everyone knows when kids go out to recess they start to run around and then we get really hyper. So when we go back into the school and start learning again we get very loud. We are also talking a lot. So if we had a longer recess we would get all tired out. Then after we came in we wouldn’t be as loud and wouldn’t talk so much.

        The final reason recess shouldn’t be taken away is because we are losing our friendships. A lot of kids have friends in different classes, but no one gets the time to talk to them, but recess. Even in the lunchroom because we are only aloud to talk to the people at our table. So we only get to see our friends at recess and the more time we owe the less time we get to talk to our friends and every one likes to talk to their friends. So why not give us more time.

        I know we get our recess taken away for a reason, but sometimes we deserve a second chance. Besides nobody would want to sit in a chair and work all day. Right

       

Less homework!

                       By Catherine Adams

 

As I packed up my homework I realized I had a ton of homework.  When I put on it felt like my backpack was going to burst instantly I was so stressed out because I had so many activities after school.  There was no time to do my homework.

We go right from school to be activities.  We have no time for are homework.  I get home from one of my after school   activities and I putt on the table my homework it looked like a year supply of homework to do.  I forgot to do part of my homework and I had to stay in for recess. 

When I get back home from school and I slam down my backpack I am just plain tired. This means that school and school work tires us out.  When I get home I just want to get comfortable on the couch and watch TV.  NO! The teachers don’t want us to do that because they load us down with homework.  This says that we are supposed to work all day non stop.  When I am tired after school it means that I have worked so hard that day and I just need a brake.  Teachers don’t realize that we are tired!  Not that we should not get homework we just need less.                                                                            When I am walking back home I see my friends having fun and playing.  I can’t play because I have a lot of homework.  I say to myself “it can wait.”  When I got back inside it was 6:00 and it was time for dinner.  I completely forgot all about my homework then remembered after dinner I had to stay up so late that night.                                                  

There is souch time in the day and it’s spent doing homework.  We should have less homework because we have after school activities, we are just plain tired and we want to spend time with our friends.   

 

 

 

NO Y!
by:ANTONIO SIERON
 

          I should not have to go to the YMCA after school.  At the Y we are forced to do our homework and we should not have to do it at the YMCA. At  the Y we don’t have any choices in what we do.  I should not go to the Y because I have no friends there.

 

          Kids should not have to go to the Y.  If you go there they make you sign a sheet that says you have to do your homework at the Y.  Homework has the word home in it. That means it is work for home. Sometimes I need help and they don’t help.  Sometimes I don’t finish when everyone else does and they make me stay behind.

 

          Also at the Y we don’t have any choices in what we do.  When it is cold the staff makes us go outside and it’s freezing.  And when it was too cold we go to the gymn and there’s mats and they don’t even let us go on them.  I for one think it’s ridiculous that we can’t use the mats.   Sometimes if you don’t do the art project they make you read and do an essay.  And they should let us pick our choice.  I think the Y is not fun.

 

          I should not have to go to the Y because I have no friends there.  No one is nice to me. And the kids call me names and the staff doesn’t do much about it.  And I think that’s not right. 

 

Going to the Y is not fun.  One reason is that I have NO friends

 

there.  And were NOT aloud to pick are own choice.  Also

 

homework they don’t let us do it at home.  That’s why should NOT

 

have to go to the Y.  That is why I don’t want to go to the Y.

Minecraft is the most unrealistic game

    BY Matthew G.

You throw a block it sticks, and then you jump in a portal, and you kill zombies. Dose that happen to you if it does you should see a doctor. That’s all your powers are over exaggerated. Second of all 

You go in portals. And you also fight zombies.  Last you have multiple lives.  

First and for most your powers are over exaggerated. You can kill a cow with a leaf and it blows up into a mini box of meat. Also you can hit patch of dirt. Let me ask you have you tried to hit a cow, and does it blow up into a little box of meat. If we are talking about dirt then does it blow up into a mini box of dirt .

Beyond that you go in portals to different dimension. And there you fight dragons and giant floating squids and zombies. Do you jump in spirally things and go to different dimensions and kill giant floating squids and dragons or zombies in real life do you.

Speaking of zombies in minecraft you can fight zombies every night. Believe me its not every night you go to take out the trash and your neighbors fighting a zombies because in minecraft you do see your neighbor fighting zombies.

Of course like in most unrealistic games you have 10 lives and when you lose 10 lives you respond right back into your house. With all the tools you crafted.

 Speaking of crafting as a bonus I would like to ask you a question. Can you whip out a crafting table and craft a bed in seconds. I wish. Also you have a inventory that stores your bed and diamonds or armor do you have a inventory {back pack} so big a bed plus armor and diamonds and ect, can fit in.

 I may have said it was weird or unrealistic and many more. But get this I never said it was bad. Right ?

 

       

   

     

  

 

 

 
 
     
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Need To Stop Globale Warm We need to stop globle warming.

Can you imagine a world without polar  bears, penguins, and seals? I know I can and I hope I never see it in real life. People, globale warming is killing lots and lots of animals. I know we arnt burning gass and that kills them. But the ice is mealting. With the ice melting, we are separating babbies from their moms and siblings. Stranding animals on little clumps of ice. On that ice the animals are floating out to see, making them swim miles to get to land. The ice is there homes. We are destroying their homes. Listen to me we can help this so the animals that are suffering from globale warming wont go extinct. Like we could walk to school. Or maybe bike to school if your school is farther away. Or at least try by car pooling so you burn less gass. But we cant just have a few people helping, we need every body. Even if walked places but one person, that person would still be burning the gass. And still be killing the animals. So do you understand now? Do you understand why we need to stop globale warming? We need to save the animals!

Pressure

Pressure can be good and bad. It can cause people to have an anxious personality or pressure can make you work harder. I think it is unfair that people have pressure. This what I may do if I have pressure: I 1. jump, 2. stomp, 3. punch the air, or 3. go outside to play.
If I have pressure I have troubles about something. It means I have too much on my plate. When I feel I have too much on my plate, I create a plan to help me with everything.
Now I will tell you a story. One day I was doing my homework and saw I had to much of it. So, I decided to break it down into parts. I did one subject, then a break, one subject and a break until I was finished with two subjects. It was a good run until during the middle of a problem I needed help. So I called in my dad. He told me how to do the problem and showed me how to make it more fun. Calling in a parent always helps me with my homework.
I’m going to give you an example of when pressure can be good. One time I was playing basketball and we were down 10 points. Our point guard put in 2 lay-ups and hit a jump shot. Now the score was 40-36. The time left was 2:00 minutes. I got put in the game, now 1:00 minute left. We scored, 40-38 now. 30 seconds. It was passed, I was on D, I knew if I lunged and missed the game was over. I took the chance anyway. The whole crowd staring wide eyed at me. I connected and stole the ball. 10 seconds. I dribbled up the court, layed it up and scored! We pressed and got the ball and won! Final score 42-40.
So with all of this pressure you need ways of getting rid of it. Here are some other ways you can let go. 1. Walk through slush 2. Go skiing 3. Go on a vacation, and if all else fails watch T.V.
